A loving Mother who could not bear to see her children fighting has reportedly died while trying to break up a dispute between her two kids. The woman who was identified as Zainab Ibrahim died because her sons; Inusa and Usman were in a fight against each other.
Although the exact reason for the argument could not be determined, it was heard that Inusa accidentally macheted her mother on the left hand.
The incident took place on Saturday in the Kpaduma II neighborhood of Asokoro in the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja.
Zainab was transported to a private hospital, where she passed away, according to a local resident who went by the name Saliu Shehu.
He said, “The two brothers are of the same parents. They were engaging in a serious fight. Their mother came in and tried to separate them. Inusa, however, left and went to bring a machete with which he intended to use on his brother in the process, he mistakenly cut his mother on her left hand. She was taken to a private hospital where she died.”
When contacted, the spokesperson for the FCT command; Josephine Adeh, said Inusa was at large, adding that an investigation is ongoing on the matter.
She said, “We received a distress call and rushed to the scene. The mother was taken to the hospital where she was confirmed dead. Usman is in custody while Inusa is at large. An investigation is, however, ongoing on the matter.”
